You need to know about the Cadence installation hierarchy if you want to save disk space, maximize performance, or have a heterogeneous network. There is no standard hierarchy for Cadence products on Windows NT, however many of the directories are the same.
The Cadence installation software placed the Cadence software in a directory that this reference refers to as install_dir. Most Cadence applications are in their own directories under install_dir/tools.
